The Engineering for Democracy Institute is, at its core, a team of engineers and STEM professionals addressing issues in election planning and operations. This unique perspective enables the EDI to address a broad range of issues that are beyond the scope of many existing centers in the elections domain. In addition to this, we provide avenues for direct collaboration nationwide between STEM experts and election administrators in need of assistance.
